Summer Treasures Project

Yard sale find, a wooden shutter, was given a light painted/stain with chalk+clay paint. I can see this shutter as a background for many more vignettes.

Painted the large thrifted clothespin clip and Mason jar with chalk+clay paint (2 coats, dried overnight), finished with clear wax. Buffed lightly with a soft cloth. First try at painting on glass - it worked well and the paint didn't chip off with polishing. Glued thrifted sea shells to the painted/waxed clip.

Lavender in a vintage bottle + hydrangea in the turquoise Mason jar against the shabby shutter.

The beginning of my project idea - a clip (yard sale find).

I didn't use every idea (this post), refined as I worked. Energy and stamina returning. Thank you to my blogging friends for your kind comments and your prayers.

Hi! Visiting from Be Inspired and following via GFC and Bloglovin'! I love the shutter idea as back drop and that aqua is gorgeous! I am anxious to get into the world of chalk paint and try painting some of my thrifted items! Love the banner also....easy and cute!

I love the turquoise that you've used throughout It goes well with the purple of the hydrangeas and lavender. Lof that giant peg with all the 'bits' on it!I'm so glad that you're feeling somewhat better!Joan

So happy you are feeling better Joy. Your project turned out very nice. Love the color and the banner is so cute. I need to start using Turquoise so I will be in style. Blessing.Audrey Z. @ Timeless Treasures
